Whether one would even consider turning to religion in advanced years has much to do with upbringing, which makes all the more important standing up to the presumptions of the religious in front of children. One would regard the Biblical events – a spontaneously igniting bush, a sea’s parting, human parthenogenesis, a resurrected prophet and so on – that supposedly heralded God’s intervention in our affairs as the stuff of fairy tales were it not for the credibility we unwittingly lend them by keeping quiet out of mistaken notions of propriety.”

A successful old age may lie not so much in our stars and genes as in ourselves.”

That covers about everything because once you stop breathing and the breath is no longer visible, you stop moving.”
“Aging is no accident. It is necessary to the human
